Caliche hits 5-0

Teams' defense and blockers keeping them perfect

JULESBURG --The Caliche Buffaloes keep doing it every week. Once again they came up with a win on Friday night to keep their perfect 5-0 season alive. This time the Buffs shut out the Sedgwick County Cougars on the Cougars own turf with a 37-0 victory.

"The defense did a really good job of shutting them down. And any time you rush for 570 yards you have to take you hat off to your O-line," said Caliche head coach Paul Zink.

The coach could not say enough about how well his O-line has performed this season.

The impressive ground attack was led by quarterback Mitch Davison, who had 17 carries for 267 yards and ran for three touchdowns.

Chase Debus had 13 carries for 158 yards, Austin Zink ran 12 times for 65 yards, Austin Yahn had four carries for 39 yards, Brett Quint had three touches for 15 yards, Dakota Kingsly had two for 10 and Jayden Stieb had one for nine.

Davison also was 4-for-7 through the air for 70 yards with Stieb catching two, Quint one and Yahn one.

The Buffs opened things up in the first quarter with a score by Yahn on a one-yard carry. Davison would hit Stieb on a pass for the two-point and an 8-0 lead. The Buffs would make it clear it was their game, with Davison ripping off a 71-yard run in the first as well.

He also ran in the two-point conversion for a 16-0 lead.

In the second quarter, Caliche would score on another long run, this time a 66-yard sprint by Davison. Caliche was up 22-0 at the half.

After the half, Davison would run it in on an eight-yard carry and then get the two-point for a 30-0 lead.

In the fourth, Caliche's final score would come on a 24-yard pass from Davison to Stieb with a kick giving them the final point and a 37-0 victory.

On defense Davison, Quint and Debus all had interceptions. Zink, Troester, Thompson and Derrick Pierce all sacked the quarterback and Troester and Quint led in tackles.

Caliche has a big test this week as they take on Akron, one of the top teams in the state.
